Will Smith’s Violent Outburst at the Oscars Shows a Man Broken and Emasculated – Opinion

If you were asleep or weren’t on social media last night, you are probably waking up to clips of a violent incident that occurred at the Oscars. As RedState reported, Will Smith decided to storm the stage and slap Chris Rock after the latter made a mundane joke about Smith’s wife.

While some initial reactions were that it must have been staged, there’s an extended video that clearly shows it wasn’t. It’s not something you would stage without laughing at it.

The reactions were swift, with most normal people condemning Smith’s actions while the Hollywood crowd seemed keener to defend them. Smith received the award for best actress just minutes after being given a standing ovation. These are people who only celebrate toxic masculinity when it’s convenient.

Regardless, I think this episode is indicative of far more than Smith feeling like he needed to defend his wife’s honor on live TV over a “GI Jane 2” joke. Comedians make jokes, and when they host the Oscars, it is a given they will roast some people in the audience (and this didn’t even qualify as that). The sane reaction is to laugh it off, which is what Smith originally did before his wife made it clear that wasn’t acceptable. All that followed was the loss of control and the walking on the stage.

What we saw in Smith’s actions was a man who was broken and emasculated, not by anything that happened last night, but by a spouse that has thoroughly abused him via the ridiculous, paradoxical arrangement of an “open marriage.” In fact, a few years ago (per The Daily Wire), Jada Pinkett Smith decided it was a good idea to drag her husband onto her podcast show so she could rub salt in the wound, showing no contrition at all for her actions.

The “Bad Boys” actor was in the know about the affair, the couple discussed. “There’s never been secrets,” Pinkett Smith said.

However, Smith did not give “permission,” since, argued Pinkett Smith, “the only person who could give permission in this particular circumstance was myself.”

Smith also agreed.

“It was a relationship,” Pinkett Smith admitted, adding, “I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken.”

“I just wanted to feel good,” she explained. “And it was a real joy to help heal somebody.”

Pinkett Smith claimed that while she tried to heal her trauma from childhood, she also felt the need to help others such as Alsina.

Smith was visibly uncomfortable during portions of the “Red Table Talk” discussion, at one point comparing himself to a politician’s wife at a presser as the husband discloses his “transgressions,” a term Pinkett Smith objected to.

Will Smith did not demand an end to this toxic relationship. A year later, he spoke with GQ, proclaiming his wife’s promiscuity as the “highest definition of love.” Of course, it’s anything but, and it’s exactly how you get a grown man freaking out at the Oscars and open-hand slapping someone for making a mild joke.

Smith’s problem is not with Chris Rock. Rather, it’s with his wife, whether he wants to admit it or not. Marriages are not designed to be “open.” You do not find happiness and purpose in allowing your spouse to participate in such behavior. It becomes especially egregious when that spouse then demands you get violent to defend her “honor” when she obviously won’t defend yours.

This is the result of secularists redefining marriage to suit their own hedonistic desires without understanding its true meaning. God created marriage to be a place for love and sacrifice, monogamy, love, fidelity, and forgiveness. While Smith claims to have one out of three, you can’t just punt on commitment and selflessness. Smith’s emotional instability is due to his lack of these things.

Will Smith has a heart defect. While I don’t feel the need to slap Will Smith as a cuckold, as some are doing right now, my heart is filled with immense compassion for him. He requires prayer and not social media blowbacks.
